NEW YORK (AP) — Emily Hollenbeck lived with a deep, recurring depression she likened to a black hole, where gravity felt so strong and her limbs so heavy she could barely move. She knew the illness could kill her. Both of her parents had taken their lives.
She was willing to try something extreme: Having electrodes implanted in her brain as part of an experimental therapy.
Researchers say the treatment —- called deep brain stimulation, or DBS — could eventually help many of the nearly 3 million Americans like her with depression that resists other treatments. It’s approved for conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and epilepsy, and many doctors and patients hope it will become more widely available for depression soon.

Depression is nothing 2 boyfriends wouldn’t cure.
Deep brain stimulation is used to treat the effects of Parkinson’s Disease. It does not cure the disease but turns back the clock on this progressive disease.
For some maybe, but that would make me REALLY depressed.
I seriously doubt 2 girlfriends would be better than 1. And I'm not sure 1 girlfriend is better than none.
Charlie Sheen had 2 girlfriends and was a complete train wreck. Causation or coincidence???
Psilocybin mushrooms would work just as well if not better and you don’t have to install any electrodes in your brain for that.
There’s always some sinister way to ruin a good thing - and they will.
